African beauty, in my own words means: “having the courage to tolerate all criticism while dressing boldly and in your own unique way”.

One basic beauty tip, perhaps a very hackneyed one too, must be “you are what you eat”. Being beautiful primarily depends on what you eat, wear and how you present yourself in public.

There are countless number of fruits and vegetables that account for glossy, flawless skin as well silky and shiny hair.

There have been instances where some women fail to attend important gatherings due to hair issues.

Adopting foreign culture by way of fixing artificial hair deletes you from the genre of 'real African women'.

Some award-winning female celebrities in Ghana - Becca, Lydia Forson, Naa Ashorkor, Mzvee, Joselyn Dumas amongst others - all of whom can be counted among the most stylish icons around, are always seen rocking their natural hair in different styles.

These women have amassed a great social media following because of their professionalism and real beauty.

Why do we continue to chase foreign products while we have the best of everything nature has given the world?

Each photo, carefully culled from thousands and presented unranked are women with natural hairstyles who can rock for all occasions.
